Stirring Incidents Recalled by the
Death OF an Indian Woman.

SslrrlnS Incidents Recalled by the
Death OF an Indian Woman.
St Paul Fionser-Press: A short time
ago an Indian woman, famiflhrly known
to the white people as Lucy, died in hel
unpretendinR habltstlon at Mendoza
She was almost as we'll known to the
inhabitants OF the twin cities as the his
tcrlcal 'Old Bsts." BY the early set
tiers she Was generally called "La-Ji'
ther lodge). and was the wife of the
celebrated Chaska, who saved the life OF
Major George ii. Spencer. late United
States Indian agent at the Grow Greek
agency, Dakota, during the outbreak oil
1852, and who also saved the life oi
George A. Bracket, OF this city, in 1854
Mr.. Brackett and Lieutenant Freeman,
of st. CLOUD, had left General Sibley 3
command for the purpose of
hunting antelopes, and suddenly and
unexpectedly encountered party
OF hostile Sioux. who fired upon
them, kiiling Freeman. At this juno
tnre Ohaska, who Was q scout accom-
panylng the Sibley expedltion, appear.
ed upon the scens. Nalther could un-
derstand the language of the other, but
Ohaska finally succeeued in making Mr..
Brackett understand that the only
thing for him to do was to dismount
abandon his horse and conceal himself
In some tall grass near by until night
when he could emerge from his place oil
concealment and rejoin tie command
Ohaska then informed the Indians that
they had killed both white man, aud
they soon took their departure, after
IA mr. yniy To Iael
by Messrs. Braokett and Freeman. Mr.
Bsackett obeyed his instructions and
escaped, making his way back on foot tc
q supply camp which had been establish
ed by General Sibley a few dey5 previ-
ously.
1t will be remembered that some zoe
or 800 women and children were held al
captlyes by tue Indians. and were suhse
quenrly released by General Eibley
Some of these unfortunates fell int
good hands and were we'll treated, bn
the condition of others was deplorable
often suffering from the pangs of hunger
even while there was an abundance o
food in the hostile camp. The deac
La-ti proved herself the friend Of ths
cnptives, giving them food, attending
them when sick and trying to chee
| them up with assurances that the.
| would soon be restored to their friends
| Chsska demonstrated his friendship TO
| the whites in more ways than one, an,
at last laid down his life in the service Q
the governments, which was engage
against his own people. The heroic con
duct of Uhaska and the noble, Renerou
deeds of Lati during the bloody mas
sacre of 1862 will long be remembered.

The mere fact that the name OF Ord
way has been mentioned with that OF
Attorney General Engle in the negotia-
tions pending for the purchase of the
Brewster law library for the territory,
causes the Yankton Press to raise its
hands in holy horror. just how the mere
mention of Ordway IN this connection
contaminates the enterprise is not clear
to men free from binding prejudice
aberdeen Meas.
1t contamimates the enterprise this
much: That Ordway never enters into
any scheme which does not contain q
job in his own interest. This we state
without prejudice. We are tolerably
we'll acquainted with Ordway and his
methods and feel well convinced that il
would be better for General Engle to

There is no holy horror and no malice
about this presentation of the case. We
speak from experience and for the good
of Dakota.

A recommendation for the codlficatiop
Of the laws OF Dakota is q feature OF the
message OF the governor. With the

ed. The codification he recommends ia
necessary, but it will be better for Da-
kota to wait until it achieves statehood,
With that event new book oflaws will

that territorial codifcation would be
an unnecessary expense.

The governor ip his message urges ad-
mission with eloquent vehemence and
chides congress for Its neglect of the
people of Dakota. This much accom-
plished he addresses himself to tie peo-.
pie of the south and notifies them that
they cannot accomplish statehood By
proceeding to become ftate. This is
supplemented by an appeal to the pat.
rlotism Of the people to suffer on under
ignomlnious wrong rather than assert
their manhood and do that which the
law says they may do and which no law
says they may not do. He formulates
this appeal upon the hypothesis that "the
nation is powerful; the territories are
helpless" This is mere sentiment and
stands disproved by the record before
it is uttered. What has been done can
be again done and it is idle for aa exc
cutive to assert that q long suffering
people may not take advantage Of the
provisions OF solemn compact created
for their relief and thus emerge from an
immature condition which provides none
OF the guarantees contemplated in our
governmental formula. The nation is
powerful because it exists under the
very conditions upon which we base our
demand for admission to the union the
inherent right of the people to govern
themselves. A territory is not helpless,
because the strength of the nation
guarantees it an equal share
in that nation and the
moment the claim for recognition ia
made in earnest, and all constitutional
requirements are complied with, thai
moment the claim must De conceded and
the territory become state.
The governor departs from bis legiti-
mate sphere when he intrudes in an Off
ciai paper q recommendation to tht
people to sit quietly under their wrongt
and suffer on in abiect silence. He il
expected merely to confne himself Il

The governor says in his message
that "there he's been more than one
period in the past few years when the
more grain (Dskota) farmer raised the
poorer he became" The message at.
tributes this condition to thelextortion-
ate rates Of railroads and asks that the
powers OF the railroad commiasion be
enlarged by statutory ensetment. The
message truthfu!ly says the commission
has done well, considering the fact chat
it was possessed OF little or no authority.
